Naked and frozen at the side of a lake,
If she was here I wouldn't hesitate,
To tell her how, the way things are,
With a long conversation in the back of a car,
And it looks like I'm heading for a night on the river,
Under the moon and the stars,
Could be I'm heading for a night on the river,
Just me and my beating heart, singing in the dark;
G - C - G - D - G - C - G - D - C - G - D - Em - C - D - G
- Oh,----------------------------------------------------------
- B
- I think she owes me an explanation,
Em
- She's got the whip hand in this situation,
A
- If I try to tell her just the way I feel,
D
- It could start the whole thing all over again,
C

D/F# Em
- Ooh, I think I'm heading for a night on__ the river,

G
- But I see the lights of a car, shining in the dark,
Ooh, could be we're heading for a mm-mm,
Under the moon and the stars,
Could be we're heading for a mm-mm
Just you and me and our beating hearts,
We're singing in the dark...
